Patton Museum, Ft. Knox, Kentucky


Visiting the Museum honoring the life of General George S. Patton was such an interesting morning. I was awestruck by the collection. There we were, standing in the middle of an unimaginable creations of great minds. All designed to free the world of cruel and oppressive dictators.

We are amazed by the similarity's of the actor who portrayed General Patton in the movie "Patton."


To me, Actors are born to play ONE ROLE and to George C. Scott goes an Oscar (which he refused) for his role as this colorful Army Four Star General.


Likewise, Vivian Lee was born to play Scarlett in "Gone With the Wind." Don't you agree?
General George S. Patton is truly immortalized by George C, Scott who so eloquently brought him to life on the screen.

There is no way I can add all the amazing photos here...
A segment of the Berlin Wall.
Of course, this wall wasn't there during WW ll ot in General Patton's lifetime, however, it represents world conflict.





On top of the wall is mounted a round pipe some 20 inches in circumference, which would make it impossible to climb over from either side.



















A German donkey cart.
If you saw the movie, you will know the significance of this.

This is the car General Patton was riding in when it was involved in a minor traffic accident at an intersection.
Before the days of seat belts, he was "slightly injured" and taken to an infirmary. It was then discovered his neck was broken which paralyzed him from neck down. He died in the following few days. May God Bless his soul.
